Phosphorus use efficiency (PUE) is frequently discussed as an indicator of crop productivity and environmental impact. However, to effectively capture both the agronomic and environmental benefits, we must look deeper into the science to understand which fertilizer practices should be adopted to maintain high PUE while supporting optimum yields and minimizing losses to water.
